      A good place to learn and grow

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Sysco puts a lot of time and money into training employees. People in sales start out as a Marketing Associate (MA). This job can be stressful to some and exciting to others depending on how you're wired. The pay is okay for someone new to sales. There is ongoing training and Sysco wants their employees to succeed.

      Cons

      Sysco doesn't cover travel expenses so there is a lot of wear and tear on your vehicle and money spent on gas. Food is a competitive industry so it can take a fair amount of time and experience to grow sales in a new or existing accounts. MA's input customer orders and many other customer service type of activities which limits time to open new accounts.

      Used to be a good place to work. Now there's no job security and weak management.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent benefits, money can be good depending on where you work, stock options are good since that's where they focus resources

      Cons

      Commission plans change every year and keep reducing MA income, no job security, greatly reduced product offering over past 1.5 years, regularly cutting commissions, firing a lot people in the past six months since new leadership moved in (OpCo-specific), short-sighted upper management at OpCo level, corporate leadership clueless about what happens at the customer level, seasoned sales staff and lower-level management getting fired to bring in less experienced MAs and management who take less pay, slow implementation of any new policy. SPECIFICALLY FOR MAs: working 6-7 days a week can be tough if you have a family, Christmas and Thanksgiving are the only holidays you get off and even those are questionable if you have customer deliveries the next day.

      No opportunity to be financially comfortable

      Marketing associate (sales representative )
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good people who are willing to be helpful. Good trainer but he should have more control over what he trains on; topics seem to be controlled by management. Annual and quaterly recognition for meeting sales goals.

      Cons

      Inadequate technology systems. Micro-management by leadership. Expected to use your own car and pay for your own cell phone for work but without any reimbursement. Pay is average but seriously inadequate for the hours and the effort this job requires. No room for advancement. Constant changes to pay plans - felt like I couldn't plan a personal budget that would be accurate for very long.
